Yep, but it reached #1 in ticket sales on Movietickets.com last night. DORY didn't make it there until Wednesday of release week, FWIW.

I think the days of the mega-opener having any kind of legs is more or less over, though. Sure, STAR TREK and BOURNE didn't have big second day drops, but each had a 60% drop on the 2nd weekend. One was very well reviewed, the other wasn't. SQUAD confirms we're in the era of hyper-saturation, where it's opening day, not even opening weekend, that makes or breaks a movie!
